10.7.2 Deploying disks
Let's assume you have taken a master image of a whole disk (with all its volumes) and want to deploy
this disk to a different target platform.
The ability of the deployed system to boot up in different modes depends on the operating systems
installed on the source disk. Operating systems can be convertible i.e. allow changing the boot mode
from BIOS to UEFI and back, or be non-convertible. For the list of convertible operating systems, see
Deploying volumes (p. 120).
